how to delete old events automatically?

Hello,

this seems to me like a basic task. And I am terribly sorry if I have missed it in the manual or in the forum. But I promise that I have spent a lot of time researching.

I would like permanently RECORD, and automatically delete all events older than 4 days. Or older than xxxx events. Archived events should not be deleted, but kept.

How can I achieve this with ZoneMinder?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Set up the "purge when full filter" to do exactly what you want

Thanks so much! This is exactly what I was looking for. :)

This is even more versatile than excpected. Perfect to run a recording in a loop. (However, not so easy to find/indentify.)
